LCAP Development

The San Ramon Valley Unified School District worked with a LCAP Committee comprised of staff, parents, students and community members to develop the Local Control and Accountability Plan.This work included the following overview of the Local Control Funding Formula, the LCAP and District data.

Background on LCAP/LCFF

California state law sets out the system for funding public schools. State leaders largely decide how much money is available to schools each year as part of the state budget process. In 2013, California adopted a new formula for determining how much money each school district gets, called the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF).

School Boards decide how to use the funds, but under the new system they must get input from their local communities. They also have to tie their budgets to improvement goals by creating a Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP). The plan is a three-year plan that must be updated each year. It must include both goals for the school district and for each numerically significant subgroup (30 or more students for all subgroups except foster youth which is 15 or more). The plans must specify the actions a school district will take to achieve these goals and be aligned with the district’s annual budget.

School districts are also required to solicit input from employees, bargaining units, parents, students and community members in crafting the LCAP. In addition, the LCAP must include annual goals in eight areas in three categories:

Conditions of Learning

Teachers are appropriately assigned and fully credentialed; students have access to standards-aligned instructional materials; and school facilities are maintained and in good repair

School climate, suspension and expulsion rates, safety and school connectedness

SRVUSD LCAP Development

The San Ramon Valley Unified School District worked together with the LCAP Committee comprised of staff, parents, students and community members to develop the draft 2018-2019 Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP). This work included overview of the Local Control Funding Formula, the LCAP and District data.This annual update to our three-year plan describes the District’s goals, actions services and expenditures that support student growth based on input from staff, parents and community members.

SRVUSD continues to do significant work to engage stakeholders in the LCAP process. The draft LCAP was shared with community members at two meetings held at the SRVUSD Education Center (699 Old Orchard Drive, Danville) on Tuesday, May 29, 2018, and Wednesday, May 30, 2018 and was adopted by the Board on June 26, 2018.
